Monotek® Sheet Technical Specification August 2014 New Zealand 3 2.5 MOISTURE MANAGEMENT 2.9 FIRE RATED WALLS It is the responsibility of the specifier to identify moisture related risks associated with any particular building design. Monotek Sheet clad walls using a cavity construction method can achieve fire ratings up to 60/60/60 when the walls are constructed in accordance with this literature and include the fire rated system requirements as specified in James Hardie Fire and Acoustic Design Manual. Refer to fire and acoustic literature for further information on fire rated systems Wall construction design must effectively manage moisture, considering both the interior and exterior environments of the building, particularly in buildings that have a higher risk of wind driven rain penetration or that are artificially heated or cooled. Walls shall include those provisions as required by NZBC Acceptable Solution ‘E2/AS1’ ‘External Moisture’. In addition all wall openings, penetrations, junctions, connections, window sills, heads and jambs must incorporate appropriate flashings for waterproofing. The other materials, components and installation methods used to manage moisture in external walls, must comply with the requirements of relevant standards and the NZBC. For further information in relation to designing for weathertightness, refer to BRANZ Ltd and the Department of Building and Housing (DBH) updates on the following websites, respectively www.branz.co.nz and www.dbh.govt.nz. 2.6 STRUCTURE Timber framing must comply with NZS 3604 for buildings or parts of buildings within the scope limitations of NZS 3604. Buildings or parts of buildings outside the scope of NZS 3604 must be as per specific design in accordance with NZS 3603 and AS/NZS 1170. Where specific design is required, the framing must be of at least equivalent stiffness to the framing provisions of NZS 3604. In all cases studs must be at maximum 600mm centres for buildings designed to NZS 3604 and at maximum 400mm centres for specifically designed buildings. External walls constructed using Monotek Sheet, bulk insulation, where the area of glazing is 30% or less of the total wall area and constructed as per this technical specification complies with the requirements for walls in NZBC Acceptable Solution H1/AS1 (NZBC Clause H1 Energy Efficiency), Replacement Table 1. To meet thermal insulation requirements for the construction, the bulk insulation as specified in Table 1 must be used. This insulation may be substituted with insulations having higher R-values. The thermal insulation of a wall gets affected when the depth of the timber framing is increased or decreased. The calculation used in Table 1 is based on a timber framing size 90 x 45mm and using an internal lining material such as James Hardie Villaboard® Lining or a 10mm plasterboard. Table 1 Insulation capability Climate Zone Construction R‑Value Requirement Minimum R-Value of Insulation Required 1 and 2 1.9 m2 ºC/W #R2.0 3 2.0 m2 ºC/W #R2.2 Monotek Sheet is suitable for use in all New Zealand wind zones up to and including EH as defined in NZS 3604. Total construction R-Value depends on the insulation material used and the framing ratio. The insulation material R-Values specified in this table are for studs spaced at 600mm c/c and nogs spaced at 800mm c/c. Monotek Sheet (9mm) is suitable for use in specific engineering design (SED) projects subject to maximum wind pressure of up to 2.5kPa (uls). # To achieve higher R-Values of construction the wall insulation must be replaced with an insulation material having higher R‑Values to suit the requirements. 2.8 STRUCTURAL BRACING For further guidance on insulation requirement refer to the current edition of ‘House Insulation Guide’ published by BRANZ. 2.7 WIND LOADING Monotek Sheets can be used to achieve structural bracing required for timber framed buildings designed and constructed in accordance with NZS 3604.

Note: Do not use D Head nails. Do not use gun nailing for bracing applications. 5.5 SHEET LAYOUT The framing layout must be checked to facilitate the construction of control joints prior to sheet installation. • All sheet edges must be supported by the framing. • All sheets must be fixed vertically. 6 Jointing 6.1 GENERAL The Monotek Sheets are supplied with 2 recessed edges. When the sheets are cut on site to suit the site requirements then the sheet edge cut on site must be recessed for flush jointing. The control joints are formed with square sheet edges. 6.2 FLUSH JOINTS Monotek Sheets must have a gap of 1 – 2mm when joining them together for the flush joints. Refer Figure 6. • Monotek Sheets must be flush jointed with a proprietary flush jointing plaster system. • Where a flush horizontal joint and a vertical control joint coincide on the wall, the vertical control joint must extend to full height of the wall. • Flush joints must never be located on the corners of openings or at other high stress locations. Flush joint must be off set from the corners of opening by 200mm minimum. • Flush joints must not be located along floor joists. 6.3 CONTROL JOINTS Control joints are required as described in Table 4. Flush–finish joints are not control joints. Control joints are necessary to accommodate the minimal differential movements between framing and sheets due to normal cyclic changes in the environment and structural behaviour. Vertical control joints may occur at the edge of window or door openings. Vertical control joints may be staggered across horizontal control joints. 6.3.2 Horizontal Control Joint At floor joist level, in addition to the movements outlined above, horizontal control joints are required to accommodate the movement resulting from timber joist shrinkage and deflection. Horizontal control joints must be provided at all floor joists and wall frame to truss connections. Elsewhere horizontal control joints are required at a maximum spacing of 5.4m where the studs are running continuous to full height. 6.3.3 Gable Ends Where the truss is sitting over the wall frame a horizontal control joint must be provided above the top plate. Additional framing may need to be provided in the gable frame to support Monotek Sheet installation as required under Section 3 ‘Framing’. Where a single stud continues from bottom plate to the underside of roof framing, no horizontal control joint is required where the stud height is equal to or less than 5400mm. In this case flush horizontal joints can be formed similar to the vertical flush joints. Refer Figure 18. 6.4 EXPANSION JOINT Expansion joints are provided to accommodate structural movement. They are generally only required for larger commercial buildings, and such buildings are outside the scope of this literature. Appropriate joint design shall be undertaken for the application. 6.5 OPENINGS All openings in the cladding must be adequately flashed to prevent moisture ingress in to the wall. Horizontal and vertical flush joints must not be located along the sides of windows and doors. These must be located a minimum of 200mm from the corner of an opening or change in the height of the wall when required. Table 4 Control joints Vertical Horizontal 5400mm centres max and at all internal corners (standard detail is a control joint) At all floor joist locations (Standard details are control joints) and 5400mm centres max. (Full height,continuous studs nogged at flush joint) Refer Figure 3 for further information on control joint locations.

CUTTING OUTDOORS 10.4.3 Alpine regions BEST In regions subject to freeze/thaw conditions, Monotek Sheet must not be in direct contact with snow or ice build up for extended periods, e.g. external walls in alpine regions must be protected where snow drifts over winter is expected. • Score and snap • Hand guillotine The Monotek Sheet has been tested in accordance with AS/NZS 2908.2 Clause 8.2.3. 11 Safe working practices DO NOT BREATHE DUST AND CUT ONLY IN WELL VENTILATED AREA James Hardie products contain respirable crystalline silica which is considered by some international authorities to be a cause of cancer from some occupational sources. Breathing excessive amounts of respirable silica dust can also cause a disabling and potentially fatal lung disease called silicosis, and has been linked with other diseases. Some studies suggest smoking may increase these risks. During installation or handling: (1) work in outdoor areas with ample ventilation; (2) minimise dust when cutting by using either ‘Score and Snap’ knife, fibre cement shears or, where not feasible, use a HardieBlade™ Saw Blade and dust-reducing circular saw attached to a HEPA vacuum; (3) warn others in the immediate area to avoid breathing dust; (4) wear a properly-fitted, approved dust mask or respirator (e.g. P1 or P2) in accordance with applicable government regulations and manufacturer instructions to further limit respirable silica exposures. During clean-up, use HEPA vacuums or wet cleanup methods - never dry sweep. For further information, refer to our installation instructions and Safety Data Sheets available at www. jameshardie.co.nz. FAILURE TO ADHERE TO OUR WARNINGS, SAFETY DATA SHEETS, AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS MAY LEAD TO SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH. Position cutting station so that wind will blow dust away from user or others in working area. Use one of the following methods based on the required cutting rate: • Fibreshear GOOD • D ust reducing circular saw equipped with HardieBlade™ Saw Blade and HEPA vacuum extraction. CUTTING INDOORS • C ut only using score and snap, hand guillotine or fibreshears (manual, electric or pneumatic). • Position cutting station in well-ventilated area REBATING/DRILLING/OTHER MACHINING When rebating, drilling or machining you should always wear a P1 or P2 dust mask and warn others in the immediate area. 1. F or maximum protection (lowest respirable dust production), James Hardie recommends always using “Best” — level cutting methods where feasible 2. NEVER use a power saw indoors 3. N EVER use a circular saw blade that does not carry the HardieBlade™ logo 4. N EVER dry sweep — Use wet suppression or HEPA Vacuum 5. NEVER use grinders 6. A LWAYS follow tool manufacturer’s safety recommendations P1 or P2 respirators can be used in conjunction with above cutting practices to further reduce dust exposures. Additional exposure information is available at www.jameshardie.co.nz to help you determine the most appropriate cutting method for your job requirements. If concern still exists about exposure levels or you do not comply with the above practices, you should always consult a qualified industrial hygienist or contact James Hardie for further information. Monotek® Sheet Technical Specification August 2014 New Zealand 9 Working instructions Storage and handling Refer to recommended Safe Working Practices before starting any cutting or machining of product. All James Hardie building products should be stored to avoid damage, with edges and corners of the sheets protected from chipping. Score and snap Score and Snap is a fast and efficient method of cutting the product using special tungsten tipped Score and Snap knife. Preferably score on the face side of the product. Score against a straight edge and repeat the action to obtain adequate depth for clean break – normally 1/3 of sheet thickness. Snap upwards to achieve break. Smooth any rough edges with a rasp. Hand guillotine Make guillotine cut on the off-cut side of line to allow for the thickness of the blade. Fibreshear heavy duty An electrically powered, fast, clean and effortless way of cutting James Hardie building products, especially around curves such as archways. Make Fibreshear cut on the “off-cut” side of the line to allow for the thickness of the shear. HardieBlade™ Saw Blade The HardieBlade™ Saw Blade used with a dust-reducing saw connected to a HEPA vacuum is ideal for fast, clean cutting of James Hardie fibre cement products. A dust-reducing saw uses a dust deflector or a dust collector connected to a vacuum system. When sawing, clamp a straight-edge to the sheet as a guide and run the saw base plate along the straight edge when making the cut. Hole-forming For smooth clean cut circular holes: Mark the centre of the hole on the sheet. Pre-drill a ‘pilot’ hole. Using the pilot hole as a guide, cut the hole to the appropriate diameter with a hole saw fitted to a heavy duty electric drill. For irregular holes: Small rectangular or circular holes can be cut by drilling a series of small holes around the perimeter of the hole then tapping out the waste piece from the sheet face. Tap carefully to avoid damage to sheets, ensuring that the sheet edges are properly supported. 10 Monotek® Sheet Technical Specification August 2014 New Zealand James Hardie building products must be installed in a dry state and be protected from rain during transport and storage.
